K D Sherrinford

KD Sherrinford was born and raised in Preston, Lancashire, in the UK, and now resides on The Fylde Coast with her husband, John and their two children. An avid reader from an early age, KD was fascinated by the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie; she had read the entire Doyle Canon by the time she was 13. A talented pianist, KD played the piano from age six; the music of some of her favourite composers, Beethoven, Schubert, Stephen Foster and Richard Wagner, strongly feature in her writing. KD had a varied career, working with thoroughbreds and racing greyhounds; she and her husband won the Blackpool Greyhound Derby in 1987 with Scottie. Then, to mix things up, KD joined Countrywide, where she was employed for over twenty years and became a fellow of The National Association of Estate Agents. Retirement finally gave KD the opportunity to start work on her first novel. She gained inspiration to write " Song for Someone" from her daughter Katie after a visit to The Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street in 2019.

Writing about the iconic character Irene Adler has always been a passion; KD was disappointed when Irene failed to appear in any further stories after Doyle's " A Scandal in Bohemia," so encouraged by her daughter, KD decided to write her adaptation.

KD's debut novel " Song for Someone" was published in November 2022 and is a Finalist at The Chanticleer International Book Awards for Romantic Fiction-The Chatelaine. The novel received critical acclaim and was described by The Historical Fiction Company as" An evocative masterpiece and a tale that stands out in Contemporary Fiction.

Book two of The Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler Mystery Series," Christmas at The Saporis," followed in December 2022, while the latest book in the series," Meet Me in Milan," was published in September 2023. The trilogy was shortlisted at The CIBA's Series Book Awards for Genre Fiction. Book four, " Nicco Sapori's Abduction," is a work in progress.
